Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of thermal insulation rigid foams and processes. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to processes and compositions which comprise siloxane to produce rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) and polyurethane (PUR) foams exhibiting superior thermal insulation and good mechanical properties such as compression strength.
  • PIR rigid polyisocyanurate
  • PUR polyurethane
  • Rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) and polyurethane (PUR) foams have outstanding thermal insulation performance and thus can be used in various applications such as building and construction, roofing, tanks, pipes, cold chain and appliances.
  • the reason for these unique characteristics is their cellular structure.
  • One such solution is to get finer cell sizes to achieve a lower K factor.
  • a purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a composition for producing rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) and polyurethane (PUR) foams.
  • PIR polyisocyanurate
  • PUR polyurethane
  • the present disclosure provides a composition for preparing rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) and/or polyurethane (PUR) foams, comprising:
  • a polyisocyanate component selected from a group consisting of an aliphatic polyisocyanate comprising at least two isocyanate groups, an aromatic polyisocyanate comprising at least two isocyanate groups, a cycloaliphatic polyisocyanate comprising at least two isocyanate groups, an araliphatic polyisocyanate comprising at least two isocyanate groups, and prepolymers or combinations thereof;

  • n is an integer of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, and *represents the point where the group of Formula 2 is attached to the center silicon atom shown in Formula 1, and
  • m is an integer of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, and *represents the point where the group of Formula 3 is attached to the silicon atom shown in Formula 1,
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are C 1 -C 4 alkyl, preferably at most two of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are C 1 -C 4 alkyl, more preferably at most one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and more preferably none of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl; and the siloxane comprises at least three trimethylsiloxy groups.
  • the polyol is selected from a group consisting of aliphatic polyhydric alcohols comprising at least two hydroxy groups, cycloaliphatic or aromatic polyhydric alcohols comprising at least two hydroxy groups, araliphatic polyhydric alcohols comprising at least two hydroxy groups, polyether polyols, polyester polyols, and a combination thereof.
  • the present disclosure provides a polyisocyanurate and polyurethane foam prepared with the composition of the present disclosure, wherein the polyisocyanurate and polyurethane foam is formed by reacting the isocyanate-reactive component with the polyisocyanate component in the presence of the siloxane.
  • the present disclosure provides a method for preparing a polyisocyanurate and polyurethane foam with the composition of the present disclosure, comprising the step of reacting the isocyanate-reactive component with the polyisocyanate component in the presence of the siloxane.
  • composition As disclosed herein, the term “composition” , “formulation” or “mixture” refers to a physical blend of different components, which is obtained by mixing simply different components by a physical means.
  • a composition for producing rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) and polyurethane (PUR) foams comprising a polyisocyanate component having two or more isocyanate groups in each molecule, an isocyanate-reactive component including polyols that can react with the isocyanate groups, and a highly branched liquid siloxane.
  • polyisocyanate component and the isocyanate-reactive component are generally stored in separate containers until the moment when they are blended together and subjected to the polymerization reaction between the isocyanate groups and hydroxyl groups to form polyisocyanurate and polyurethane.
  • Polyurethane refers to a polymer comprising a main chain formed by the repeating unit (-NH-C (O) -O-) derived from the reaction between isocyanate group and hydroxyl group, while polyisocyanurate comprises an polyisocyanurate ring structure formed by trimerization of isocyanate groups.
  • polyisocyanurate and polyurethane As used herein, the terms of “polyisocyanurate and polyurethane” , “polyisocyanurate or polyurethane” , “PIR and PUR” , “PIR or PUR” and “PIR/PUR” are used interchangeably and refer to a polymeric system comprising both polyurethane chain and polyisocyanurate groups, with the relative proportions thereof basically depend on the stoichiometric ratio of the polyisocyanate compounds and polyol compounds contained in the raw materials. Besides, the ingredients, such as catalysts and other additives, and processing conditions, such as temperature, reaction duration, etc., may also slightly influence the relative amounts of the PUR and PIR in the final foam product.
  • polyisocyanurate and polyurethane foam refer to foam obtained as a product of the reaction between the above indicated polyisocyanates and compounds having isocyanate-reactive groups, particularly, polyols.
  • additional functional groups e.g. allophanates, biurets or ureas may be formed during the reaction.
  • the PIR/PUR foam is preferably a rigid foam.
  • composition of the present disclosure may further comprise catalyst, blowing agent, and other additives.
  • the composition of the present disclosure is generally prepared and stored as two separate “packages” , i.e. an isocyanate package solely comprising the polyisocyanate component and a polyol package comprising any other components.
  • the isocyanate-reactive component, siloxane, catalyst, blowing agent and other additives may be mixed together to obtain a “polyol package” , which is then blended with the isocyanate package to produce the PUR/PIR foam.
  • the amounts, contents or concentration of the isocyanate-reactive component and the polyisocyanate component are calculated based on the total weight of the composition, i.e.
  • the siloxane, catalyst, blowing and other additives are based on the weight of the “polyol package” , i.e. the combined weight of all the components excluding the polyisocyanate component or the total weight of the composition minus the weight of the polyisocyanate component.
  • the siloxane, catalyst, blowing and other additives are not mixed with the isocyanate-reactive component and are added as independent streams, but the contents thereof are still calculated based on the combined weight of the “polyol package” .
  • the isocyanate-reactive component comprises one or more polyols selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyhydric alcohols comprising at least two hydroxy groups, cycloaliphatic or aromatic polyhydric alcohols comprising at least two hydroxy groups, araliphatic polyhydric alcohols comprising at least two hydroxy groups, polyether polyol, polyester polyol and mixture thereof.
